The "Neskuchny Cruise with Anton Chekhov" will take place very soon with special participation of the staff of the A.P. Chekhov's Museum-Reserve "Melikhovo".
The cruise company "Doninturflot" and A.P. Chekhov's Museum-Reserve "Melikhovo" signed a co-operation agreement. On 26 June the first thematic cruise on the Anton Chekhov boarding ship will take place. This is a flagship four-deck liner of a unique project, which has practically no analogues!
For travellers the museum staff has prepared a special programme, which will take place on different platforms of the liner and will be included into the general cultural poster of the trip.
During nine days of sailing on the route "Moscow-St. Petersburg" participants of the cruise will get acquainted with the life and work of Anton Chekhov, as well as with the activities of the Melikhov Museum. The museum will organise a special photo zone on board, hold presentations, lectures, master classes, remind about old games and entertainments of the 19th century, and invite to take part in an intellectual show with special prizes.
These meetings will not leave lovers of Russian literature indifferent, will help them to feel more deeply the well-known and discover unfamiliar pages in the classic's works, and, perhaps, to reread Chekhov's works using the on-board library, and be sure to plan a visit to the Melikhov Museum!
